I’m assuming this would go on the same page, just because I’m having trouble with frame rates myself. I’m trying to preserve one of my favorite shows, “Theodore Tugboat”, and I managed to get them from a reliable source. However, I’m facing a few difficulties, so I’ll point out the “to-knows” in a bullet list:
-The show was filmed in 60i.
-My initial source for these is in 25p.
-The files I have are in 30p, resulting in a duplicate frame.

Is there any way to get rid of the duplicate frame, going back to 25p, and possibly restoring some lost motion by interpolating that to 60p? If there is, I’d love to know. (I am also very inexperienced with AVISynth, so if that is required, I’ll need a lift on that as well!) 😃

Here’s a clip of the untouched file (cropped in Vegas, original file size is 1280x720).
